ok, i am trying to understand. i'm using web2py 2.22.5 under centos 8 in console only mode. i searched all of my application files and there is no hint of auth.settings.hmac_key = "such and such". when i access auth, session, request, etc., i can see an hmac_key key in auth.settings but it is None, AND i see a session changing value under session.auth with an equal value under response. but again, that changes with each login.
i grep'd "hmac_key" under gluon and found "pbkdf2_hex" and "simple_hash" under gluon/packages/dal/pydal/validators.py, and i suspect i would access and use these functions based on previous posts asking similar questions, but i have no idea how to import them and then use them in a bash/python script file to reproduce the hash in a password field under web2py. so i ask again: "in linux/bash script code, not web2py interface [or application], how do i take a regular string and convert it into the password that is stored in the password in the auth_user table under web2py version 2.22.5?" lucas On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 4:51:41 PM UTC-4 Jim S wrote: > I must be misunderstanding something, because that is what I thought I > just showed. > > hashed_password > = > str(CRYPT(key="pbkdf2(1000,20,sha512):whatever-your-hash-string-is")(plain_text_password)[0]) > > "whatever-your-hash-string-is needs" to be the same as what you're > assigning to auth.settings.hmac_key in db.py > > hashed_password should then match what is in auth_user.password > > -Jim > > > On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 2:34:45 PM UTC-5 lucas wrote: > >> ok, that sets up the web2py environment. i'm asking how to reproduce or >> generate the hashed key from regular text within a separate shell script. >> lucas >> >> On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 8:53:38 AM UTC-4 Jim S wrote: >> >>> It should be the same as auth.settings.hmac_key, probably set in db.py >>> >>> auth.settings.hmac_key = ( >>> "sha512:whatever-your-has-string-is" # before define_tables() >>> ) >>> >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 7:44 AM lucas <sjlu...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> but how do you generate the hash string from the regular text string? >>>> >>>> On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 8:40:35 AM UTC-4 Jim S wrote: >>>> >>>>> Here is what I'm using: >>>>> >>>>> password = str(CRYPT(key= >>>>> "pbkdf2(1000,20,sha512):whatever-your-hash-string-is")(unhashed)[0]) >>>>> >>>>> On Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at 9:01:32 PM UTC-5 lucas wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> hello one and all, >>>>>> in linux/bash script code, not web2py interface, how do i take a >>>>>> regular string and convert it into the password that is stored in the >>>>>> password in the auth_user table under web2py version 2.22.5? >>>>>> thank you in advance, lucas >>>>>> >>>>> -- >>>> Resources: >>>> - http://web2py.com >>>> - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) >>>> - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) >>>> - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) >>>> --- >>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the >>>> Google Groups "web2py-users" group. >>>> To unsubscribe from this topic, visit >>>> https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/801jh-wneL0/unsubscribe. >>>> To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to >>>> web2py+un...@googlegroups.com. >>>> To view this discussion on the web visit >>>> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/web2py/2b0bd3f4-5dbc-49b5-b40e-e50e616b9d1dn%40googlegroups.com >>>> >>>> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/web2py/2b0bd3f4-5dbc-49b5-b40e-e50e616b9d1dn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> >>>> . >>>> >>> -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
